Being a mom is my #1 calling in life, but my family needs something to support our future dreams. I figured I might as well start doing something I love, and work with animals. I am extremely flexible and can work you and your pets into my day.

A typical day

My family spends lots of time outside, we love stomping around the garden and playing with our animals. We take our chickens on bike rides and let our ducks swim in the pool. You never know what kind if exciting day your pet will have. We have direct access to the Pensy Trail and can hop right on for a walk.

Pet care experience

My mom has always reminded me, animals gravitate toward people who they can detect "safe signals". She also taught me, an animal's love is so pure. Growing up, she always made time to stop and "moooooooo" at any cows in their pastures, and "neighhhh" for horses. I frequently make time to do this with my son. I am a very patient, and accepting person, friends and family members often comment on this, especially regarding motherhood and pet-parenthood. I don't mind to work with pets on training, within reason. Leash training, simple commands, etc.

Kingsley had so much fun and slept for a very long time once she got home! Shelby was amazing with her, had great communication, and provided pictures. Kingsley can’t wait until her next visit!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
